Published January 15, 2025


Last winter, I took a walk through the woods, wrapped up in layers of scarves and mittens. The trees were covered in frost, each branch a delicate work of art. That serene moment inspired this week’s watercolor tutorial—a frosty evergreen forest. It’s amazing how nature's quiet beauty can stir such calm and creativity. Let’s bring that peaceful winter scene to life on paper!

Evergreen Forests

This week, we’re painting a tranquil, misty forest of evergreen trees, lightly dusted with snow. Whether you’re new to watercolor or a seasoned painter, you’ll learn how to layer colors to create a depth that feels as frosty and magical as a winter morning.
